This, along with psj's impressions and Sanuku liking the game despite its share of minor problems has me convinced. Thanks guys.
not for ipad , hmmm :/ I am a regular chillingo customer own every game of theirs which is on the ipad but this one well first of all isnt on the ipad but even if it was i might have not bought it cuz of bugs and just doesnt look that good to me.well neither did snail bob but when i played it i was amazed.
Ya it stinks its not universal. But since the good impressions of some members were good, I'm gonna buy it anyway.
Oh I didn't notice at first, but there is a lot of content in this game... characters to unlock, a lot of cool bonus worlds, funny story (a wing-less fly...), real controls (not an auto-runner) and much much more... haven't encountered any bugs (iPhone 4 latest iOS)... and so far, outstanding Edit: Can you unlock bonus levels and characters just by playing or only with mushrooms? Edit 2: Also forgot, but that mushroom in level 5 is reachable? anyone?
Wait a couple of seconds and the thingi starts to go back. Is the mushroom on level 6 not supposed to show up in the menu after you've collected it? It says I have 6 mushrooms, but there are only 5 in the "Tutorial" section, and it's not available for collection in the level anymore. :/
Has anyone unlocked the bonus retro levels yet ? I dont want to buy them, its not the price just i would rather play the game to unlock them myself. I thought once i finished world 1 it would unlock one of the bonus levels but it hasnt. Has anyone unlocked a bonus level yet ? Looking forward to seeing what the retro worlds are like
Oh boy, Sanuku wasn't kidding. At one point the music just stopped and the game's volume shot up to what I presume was the loudest. :/ Know what's bugging me? The app description mentions the app's icon...they're proud of it, yeah? Then why is "Mini Dash" (something that completely fits without a single problem) "Minidash" on our devices? Come on... :/
You must have 30 mushrooms to unlock the bonus levels and I'm guessing you have to go into the store and unlock them yourself. I dunno. Getting "perfect time" on these levels will be the death of me. I really hope Dan from Chillingo or anyone from Playscope partake in this thread...the game's great, but yep...there are kinks that need fixing left and right.
Thanks sorry my fault should have spotted that. Looks like i'll be going through those earlier levels to find those mushrooms then Cheers
Fun game. Wish it had arrows instead of a slider though, I hate sliders. Tilt works good though, but arrows would be loads better. Some achievements don't unlock either. I finished the "Possible Game" minigame and got the new character, but no achievement. Worth the .99, but hopefully it'll be even better with some updates...
I agree, old skool left/right buttons would be great, i'm not a fan of sliders but i must admit its not 'too bad'. But ideally would prefer buttons
Sorry folks, buttons wouldn't work for this game, tried it. They are not flexible enough. You can get pretty close by setting sensitivity to maximum in settings. Plus, once you get really familiar with slider, you'd never want to get back to arrows .
Hmmm still think it should be an option though. I see too many devs go for a control scheme they like and not listen to people who buy the game. I've got 7 folders full of platformers ! Got all types of platformers and buttons would work for sure. Some people are so used to buttons i'm sure they would like them for this game. Again the slider controls dont ruin it but when 99% of my 60+ platformers have buttons i think that should at least be an option as they do work well.
The problem with buttons is that you can't control your speed. Pushing the slider all the way to the right makes you run fastest and I don't know if it's even possible that that'll translate in any way to buttons. I hate sliders. Despise them...and even though, I'm sticking with this game is because it's really, really good. There are a lot of twitch platformers on iOS, but this is basically the closest you'll get to the console/PC experience of Super Meat Boy. ****ing hate sliders man!
Yes, you're absolutely right. Not only you won't be able to control your running speed - which is bad but bearable, but you also lose the ability to correct your jumps while in mid-air, and as a result you won't be able to complete some levels at all. But if many people demand this, we'll implement buttons as an alternative.
As for the slider, I agree with MC that with the slider you can move faster than with arrow, it may take a bit to adjust to it, but I feel is much better in the end due to how the levels are made. And if adding arrows makes everyone happy, I'm with them Thanks MC... seem I didnt wait long enough As for level 6, same thing happens to me Bump
Yes, you unlock simple levels by completing previous ones, and you unlock bonus stuff with mushrooms. You can collect mushrooms several times on the same level if you use a different character. Little spoiler - there is one character you can unlock by playing - complete mini game and you get one. He's really hard to control though.
